Counters

Countered by: Jet Fighter

Jet fighters engage the units they counter exclusively, so light tank draws their fire away from the rest of the army.

Hard-countered units take extra losses and cannot retaliate against the unit countering them. See Units#Counters for the full matrix.

Production

Trained at the Tank Factory. Build time, cost and upkeep depend on the tier (see Stats).

In combat Light Tank expends Light Tank Shells. Ammunition is crafted in batches at ammunition buildings (Ammunition Factory, Ordnance Plant); keep the army supplied to stay effective in prolonged fighting.

Movement and transport

As a land unit it moves only across land nodes. A route that crosses water is clipped at the last land node before the crossing.

To cross water, load it aboard a Naval Cargo or Plane Cargo.

Tips

Hard-countered by jet fighters, which engage it exclusively. Escort tank columns with Anti-Air (50 km umbrella, returns fire).
Strong against infantry: use it to break infantry garrisons rather than to trade with other armour.
